Lifeblood Treasure

This chapter is a stunning showcase of the **Sword Immortal (剑仙)** archetype, a pinnacle trope in Xianxia. Unlike brute-force warriors, a Sword Immortal's lethality comes from an almost metaphysical level of precision and speed. Ji Ning's sword art isn't just powerful; it is *perfect* and *inescapable*. The great demons' lifeblood treasures—their claws and horns—are helpless because Ji Ning has transcended the level of "clashing with treasures." He has reached a state where his attack is a 'Dao manifestation,' a piece of cosmic truth that his enemies simply cannot grasp.

Story context

Get your popcorn ready, fellow Daoists, because it’s time for a pure, unadulterated curb-stomp battle! Ji Ning has finally had enough of being the hunted and is now the hunter. This chapter is a masterclass in the Desolate Era power fantasy, where our boy unleashes the full might of his Lesser Thousand Sword Formation for the first time on a grand scale. The result? Three Wanxiang-level great demons, who thought they were the top predators of a deadly wasteland, get turned into loot pinatas in a matter of seconds. It is a glorious, one-sided massacre that reminds us exactly why Ji Ning is considered a 'monster genius' of the Black-White College. We also get a touching side-plot with a terrified child, reminding us that in this brutal world of demon kings and immortal cultivators, there is still a place for compassion. Read on as Ji Ning’s sword-intent slices through demonic arrogance and straight into pure satisfaction.

Why it matters

Welcome to the part of the story where the protagonist starts fulfilling his potential. If the Black-White College trials were about proving he was a genius, the Mount Yujue Wasteland is about showing the *scale* of that genius. The core emotion here is catharsis. After all the setup, technique acquisition, and training, we finally see Ji Ning operate at the level of a true 'monster.' Let the heads of Wanxiang great demons roll.
